Leave a comment

Ozark, Missouri — Baschieri & Pellagri (B&P®) USA is helping waterfowl hunters prepare for the season with its new Stacked Savings Rebate, offering up to $100 back on qualifying purchases of B&P Dual Steel waterfowl shotshell ammunition purchased between August 1 and December 31, 2026.

Hunters who purchase at least two boxes of qualifying B&P Dual Steel waterfowl ammunition are eligible to receive a $5 rebate per box, with a maximum rebate of $100 per person or household.

The result is a versatile waterfowl load that delivers consistent performance while incorporating B&P’s biodegradable Green Core wad technology.

Like every B&P shotshell, Dual Steel is manufactured with premium components and backed by over 140 years of shotshell innovation. Combined with B&P’s precision loading techniques and proven Green Core wad technology, Dual Steel delivers the consistent patterns, dependable ignition, and reliable performance that waterfowl hunters demand when every opportunity counts.

Michigan’s Invasive Species Program and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service are asking the public to look for and report signs of the invasive Asian longhorned beetle.

Each year, APHIS declares August as Tree Check Month because this is the most likely time to see the beetle and the damage it causes to trees. Though beetle sightings are less common, everyone can help look for signs of this destructive beetle by checking trees on their property and in their community for damage.

The Asian longhorned beetle, or ALB for short, is a non-native, wood-boring beetle considered invasive in North America because it attacks at least 12 types of hardwood trees, including maples, elms, horse chestnuts, birches and willows. There are no effective predators or diseases in North America to keep ALB populations in check. Read more

Elusive Catch: Angler Snags Large Paddlefish That Was at Large for 22 Years

Trevor Swisse of Sidney not only harvested the biggest paddlefish in Montana in 2026, but the nearly 117-pound female had avoided recapture by fisheries crews and anglers in Montana and North Dakota for 22 years.

“That’s the biggest one I’ve ever caught,” Swisse said.

Montana’s state-record paddlefish, caught in 1973 in the Missouri River, was 142.5 pounds, but 117 pounds is definitely on the larger end of fish harvested.

Swisse was paddlefishing at Seven Sisters Wildlife Management Area near Sidney on June 12 with his boys, Mason, 15, and Charles, 6, when he snagged the fish. Read more

SAF Files Reply Brief in Unlawful Search Lawsuit

Leave a comment

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a reply brief in a case challenging the unconstitutional search of an 18-year-old high school senior’s vehicle that was based solely on the knowledge that he is a legal gun owner.

In October last year, SAF filed Harrington v. Crawford after Hillsboro-Deering High School student Jack Harrington’s vehicle was illegally searched while parked on school grounds. Harrington lawfully owns a handgun and sometimes kept his firearm in his truck – in full compliance with all federal and state laws – but always removed the gun from his vehicle before going to school. When school authorities became aware of Harrington’s gun ownership, he was subjected to aggressive interrogation by district employees which culminated in his vehicle being searched without consent.

“The school’s knowledge that Jack was a lawful gun owner outside of school did not justify their search of his truck,” said SAF Senior Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack. “They had no information to indicate he had ever brought the gun to school or had done anything illegal or against school policy whatsoever. The search they conducted could not have been supported by probable cause or even reasonable suspicion. Administrators ignored repeated insistent refusals by Jack to provide consent and now rest their hat on the fact that after telling him the search was going to happen regardless, he replied ‘okay.’ That is not consent in the eyes of the law. Jack’s Fourth Amendment rights were violated here.”

As noted in the brief, “The burden lies with Defendants to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that valid, voluntary consent to the Search was given. Consent ‘coerced by threats or force, or granted only in submission to a claim of lawful authority’ is invalid. Moreover, the evidence of voluntary consent must be ‘unequivocal, specific, and intelligently given, uncontaminated by any duress or coercion.’ Consent obtained by coercion is invalid ‘no matter how subtly the coercion was applied.'”

“School district officials took it upon themselves to infringe on a lawful gun owner’s rights based on the baseless ‘possibility’ that he had committed a crime, which is not sufficient to justify a search,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. Read more
